The Advanced RPO collaboration between KellyOCG and IBM is a unique global offering designed for multinational companies. Advanced RPO deploys a "centralized-decentralized" service delivery model for recruitment. Operations are centralized into Shared Service Centers whenever possible to allow cost-effective delivery while maintaining a high level of quality.

"The Advanced RPO Partnership is really a world first," said Candy Lewandowski, vice president of KellyOCG. "Our largest, most sophisticated customers are requesting a global integrated RPO solution: one that includes people, process transformation, technology and the global infrastructure to
bring it together -- all at a competitive price.

"To date, no single provider has been able to offer a globally integrated, end-to-end solution for RPO," Lewandowski said. "In the past, solutions have been regional at best. That changes today. We are combining the relative strengths of two industry leaders to create a totally new offering."
